Utopia Talk / Politics / Back up

Turtle Crawler Admin	Fri Jul 09 10:27:51 Was only down a few hours I think, but clearned logs/temp files so should be good to go for another 6 months.
Rugian Member	Fri Jul 09 10:32:17 So effectively, this place can only survive for as Turtle Crawler remains alive plus ~6 months? How's your health lately TC? Keeping the weight and stress off I hope?
nhill Member	Fri Jul 09 10:33:16 lol, let me know if you need a backup server. I have a bunch of VPSs just hanging out
Turtle Crawler Admin	Fri Jul 09 10:56:57 It is using the lowest cost OVH hosting now but its an old one with only 10gb, what I should do eventually is move it to a new one that would be cheaper and 40gb. It is pretty stable now though. Someday I'll have a kid rewrite the backend onto the AWS free tier and make it more robust.
nhill Member	Fri Jul 09 11:04:16 cool cool. i use OVH, too, with a 48TiB server farming Chia crypto. it's mostly passive, doesn't require much cpu/ram to do that. also have a few smaller VPS on vultr for $5/month each that runs a blog. nginx reverse proxy & 2 servers running wordpress w/ failover both setups have a lot of free cycles. i'll probably scrape this forum to have a backup anyways
Daemon Member	Fri Jul 09 11:49:29 "Someday I'll have a kid rewrite the backend onto the AWS free tier and make it more robust." 2 weeks ago I registered for the new "always free" Oracle Arm compute unit. So far it's free and should stay free after the initial 30 days, but I'm not past that period yet, I will see. If you're interested then make sure you select the right data center location, they don't offer the Arm units everywhere so far: http://blo...structure-always-free-services Oracle builds out their portfolio of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Always Free services June 7, 2021 We’re excited to announce the addition of 13 more Always Free services to Oracle Cloud Free Tier, enabling developers and operators to learn, kick the tires, and deploy workloads on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). In September 2019, Oracle began offering Always Free services including Compute, Storage, and Autonomous Database. The newest Always Free services include Ampere A1 Compute ... To support Arm architecture coming to servers, Oracle OCI launched Ampere A1 Compute instances in the cloud. Oracle has created an Arm developer ecosystem to enable developers to seamlessly transition, build, and run applications on OCI Arm instances. The latest Ampere processors used in OCI run most server workloads more efficiently than legacy processors. The only way to know if Ampere A1 Compute shapes are right for you is to try them. Oracle offers the most significant Always Free Arm resources (four OCPUs, 24-GB Memory) in the industry to enable developers to build and test meaningful apps (not just “hello world” demos).
nhill Member	Fri Jul 09 11:51:08 lmao if you trust Oracle to uphold that you have to be the most gullible person in the world
Daemon Member	Fri Jul 09 12:01:55 No problem, I never use APIs which have the risk of a vendor lockin. So Oracle changing their terms would be no worse for me than OVH burning down their data center: http://www...nds-of-sites-worldwide/398485/ March 10, 2021 OVH Datacenter in France was engulfed in flames, taking down thousands of sites and businesses including popular plugins WP Rocket and Imagify.

nhill Member	Fri Jul 09 12:11:18 Didn't affect me, my boxes are in their Canadian data center. But one major incident in 22 years is pretty good. You'll be lucky if that 'always free' server even exists at all in 22 months. Btw if you're offended at my statement above it's because you lack English comprehension. I'm not going to spell it out for you this time, tho. Like I said, next English lesson I'm charging.
Daemon Member	Fri Jul 09 12:14:48 Oh man you really have some problems^^
nhill Member	Fri Jul 09 12:23:48 Don’t we all. One of mine is your inability to comprehend English. Alas.
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Fri Jul 09 12:30:19 Mother fuckers, join the discord!
Turtle Crawler Admin	Fri Jul 09 13:25:56 I should probably institute a backup plan, I had one once when I hosted more things (and less kids) We have a discord?
Turtle Crawler Admin	Fri Jul 09 13:26:43 Right now if their Canadian site goes up in flames the closest backup we have is from years ago
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Fri Jul 09 13:35:14 Someone on GT created one. http://discord.gg/hF3dg67yuE Though probably the best thing is to somehow have a backup plan or back up person. If it could be several people that would be great. Decentralize UP!
Repel Member	Fri Jul 09 14:05:26 Yeah made a discord for people who wanted real time chat option. It’s very basic
Paramount Member	Fri Jul 09 14:19:33 In case of all the backup plans goes up in flames we can always regroup at https://utopiaforums.wordpress.com/
patom Member	Fri Jul 09 14:35:32 If I'm still alive when it goes tits up, please come find me :)
Turtle Crawler Admin	Tue Jul 13 01:01:37 Discord is probably the best place to hit me up if it does go down, but I do seem to have a decent record of keeping it up over the last so many years, it should be here another decade at least.
OsamaIsDaWorstPresid Member	Tue Jul 13 13:05:32 "Repel Member Fri Jul 09 14:05:26 Yeah made a discord for people who wanted real time chat option.

Repel Member	Wed Jul 14 12:53:13 It’s possible to make a quote bot with quotes of old ugters
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Wed Jul 14 13:18:51 I commission you to create such a bot, you will be paid with my personal admiration and respect.
